Outlook Expresses opens a folder instead of launching the browser

[Guest]

Greetings;

I just noticed today that when I click on a link in an Outlook Express
email, instead of launching the browser and visiting the link's website,
Windows\Fonts is openned.

If I save the email as html and open it via a browser, everything works as
expectd.

But inside Outlook Express clicking on a link opens the Windows\Fonts
folder. I switched between different Outlook Express users, and the same
behavior persists.

Any suggestions?

Bests,

I have installed IE7 B2P. But my praimary browser is firefox. While I
installed IE7 recently, I have been using firefox for sometime now.
